Tangier is safe, just avoid very local places and neighberhoods. The more youare surrounded with people the more you will be safe. Touristic places are always safe, also in the city center.

As long as you're avoiding dangerous areas, like those poor and far neighborhood no one gonna come towards you, you can be totally safe in the medina and other touristic places. Even if you have to go to other neighborhood, you can be safe if you wear some covered clothes (not showing clivages or too much from your body).. I myself wear t-shirts and medium skirts.

Tangier is very safe for female travelers and in touristy places. Granted that you don’t go to sketchy suburbian neighborhoods you’re very safe. I can take a taxi at 3 or 4 in the morning no problem at all. Just be aware of your surroundings like you would be anywhere else and don’t answer anyone in the streets.

Solo travel

Tangier is a smaller city in nothern Morocco, and i traveled solo off season in April 2024. Overall i met the nicest people ever there but also had to experience some harassment. I recommend to not walk around alone unless its city center, because cars will stop and honk at you (no matter what you dress like). I recommend using Taxi Apps because public transport is not that reliable. Food is amazing and cheap!

Solo travel

I was in Tangier and it was simply wonderful there, with sea views, beautiful weather and really low prices. The city has such a rich history as a place of artists and writers, one of my favorite places I've ever visited.
